And now they had another broil1 with the three Englishmen; one of whom, a most turbulent fellow, being in a rage at one of the three captive slaves, because the fellow had not done something right which he bade him do, and seemed a little untractable in his showing him, drew a hatchet2 out of a frog-belt which he wore by his side, and fell upon the poor savage3, not to correct him, but to kill him. One of the Spaniards who was by, seeing him give the fellow a barbarous cut with the hatchet, which he aimed at his head, but stuck into his shoulder, so that he thought he had cut the poor creature’s arm off, ran to him, and entreating4 him not to murder the poor man, placed himself between him and the savage, to prevent the mischief5. The fellow, being enraged6 the more at this, struck at the Spaniard with his hatchet, and swore he would serve him as he intended to serve the savage; which the Spaniard perceiving, avoided the blow, and with a shovel7, which he had in his hand (for they were all working in the field about their corn land), knocked the brute8 down. Another of the Englishmen, running up at the same time to help his comrade, knocked the Spaniard down; and then two Spaniards more came in to help their man, and a third Englishman fell in upon them. They had none of them any firearms or any other weapons but hatchets9 and other tools, except this third Englishman; he had one of my rusty10 cutlasses, with which he made at the two last Spaniards, and wounded them both.
